Theatres, music venues, arts centres, museums, libraries, restaurants etc have all closed their doors to the general public for the time being. Different venues are projecting different time scales for the closures, with further announcements being made daily. Som e have announced that they’re hoping to re-open at the end of April. At the time of its publication, all information contained within our April issue was correct to the best of our knowledge. For the foreseeable future, we will use our social media channels to update our readers on further announcements, rescheduled dates and news of any forthcoming shows or events. This is an extremely difficult time for everyone, including those working in the arts and event management, many of whom are self-employed. We’re all in this together, and once this is over we hope we can once again come together to support the fantastic arts & entertainment offer that we have here in the UK. In the meantime, physical and mental wellbeing takes top priority - so stay safe, be kind and keep your distance.

  • 1 Reading Athenaios' Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo: Critical Edition And
    Reading Athenaios’ Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo: Critical Edition and Commentaries DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Corey M. Hackworth Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Fritz Graf, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Carolina López-Ruiz 1 Copyright by Corey M. Hackworth 2015 2 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo that was found at Delphi in 1893, and since attributed to Athenaios. It is believed to have been performed as part of the Athenian Pythaïdes festival in the year 128/7 BCE. After a brief introduction to the hymn, I provide a survey and history of the most important editions of the text. I offer a new critical edition equipped with a detailed apparatus. This is followed by an extended epigraphical commentary which aims to describe the history of, and arguments for and and against, readings of the text as well as proposed supplements and restorations. The guiding principle of this edition is a conservative one—to indicate where there is uncertainty, and to avoid relying on other, similar, texts as a resource for textual restoration. A commentary follows, which traces word usage and history, in an attempt to explore how an audience might have responded to the various choices of vocabulary employed throughout the text. Emphasis is placed on Athenaios’ predilection to utilize new words, as well as words that are non-traditional for Apolline narrative. The commentary considers what role prior word usage (texts) may have played as intertexts, or sources of poetic resonance in the ears of an audience.

  • Marketing Plan Template
    Sutton Coldfield Arts and Recreation Trust – Business Plan notes – MARKETING The marketing plan is aimed at achieving income by the sale of tickets and the hiring of rooms. Main income streams Tickets 1. The sale of tickets to the general public for theatre shows 2. The sale of tickets to the general public for non-theatrical events Room hire 3. The hiring of the theatre for use by professional acts 4. The hiring of the theatre for use by amateur dramatic and orchestral societies, schools/clubs. 5. The hiring of the rooms by the public for weddings and civil ceremonies 6. The hiring of the rooms for non-theatrical public events (e.g. trade fairs) 7. The hiring of the rooms by companies and public for private events (e.g. company presentations, charity balls, parties). THEATRICAL Theatre (Vesey Suite) The Town Hall theatre is currently a receiving house, a theatre that produces no original work of its own and instead, hosts or ‘tours in’ other people’s productions, usually those of commercial production companies and amateur dramatics/music societies. The unique selling point is that Town Hall has no commercial theatre competitor in close proximity, is central to the town and to public transport and can provide a fully functioning 427 seat professionally working theatre for the local community. The competing theatres are listed below. From community research is it quite clear that the people of Sutton Coldfield would prefer to see theatre shows locally rather than travel to Birmingham City Centre or Staffordshire. This is especially the case for older residents and young families with children.

Abstract Abstract Comedy is an art form that has been both under theorised and studied by geographers despite the many affirmations of its usefulness to those with an interest in culture (Mintz, 1985). Live stand-up comedy in particular forms a useful epistemological means to theorise links between art, space and place due to the fact that it is both produced and received in the same moment, rather than being mediated between these events.

Derrick Elliss FCA: the project accountant, and my collaborator The University of Sheffield Julie Eaglen, Arts Council England West Midlands Dominic Shellard 2 Introduction Theatre in the United Kingdom is admired throughout the world for its quality and creativity. The excellence of its plays, actors and performances are unrivalled. This study of West Midlands theatre builds on the work of the Economic Impact Study of UK Theatre (Arts Council, 2004), which was the first national study of the contribution that theatre makes to the local and national economy. It established that the economic impact of UK theatre was £2.6bn: £1.5bn coming from London theatre and £1.1bn from regional theatre. The impact of regional theatre had previously been undervalued and this new study – of the economic impact of West Midlands theatre – further highlights the fact that regional theatre is economically as well as artistically vibrant.

  • BOA Alumni Christmas Newsletter
    BOA Alumni Christmas Newsletter Principal’s Message: “Wishing you and your friends and families a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2019. Please keep in touch and spread the word about BOA! “ - John Reilly, Principal BOA held its third ‘Alumni Morning’ on the 21st of September, which was a huge success. The aim was to provide advice and guidance to our current Year 13 students. There were 6 of our alumni from across a range of pathways that were invited back for a question and answer session. The questions asked were focused mainly on progression routes and what our current stu- dents can expect when they are ready to leave. It was a great way for our alumni to talk about their own personal experiences and progression since parting from BOA. We feel as though this two hour session will benefit our current students when applying for their chosen progression routes, at the end of the school year. Following the event and its positive outcomes, we received some valuable feedback from the current students, that this session was extremely helpful and something that enlightened our cur- rent students. Our alumni morning will definitely be something we continue to do, as we love to keep in contact with our alumni and find it’s important for them to still be involved also. “Birmingham Ormiston Academy is like a big family, it’s a place we know we can come back to for help” Birmingham Ormiston Academy Christmas Term 2018 PAGE 2 "Make the most of your time at BOA, and take on every opportunity that you have offered to you” “Don’t be afraid to ask for support.
